refine

A design-tuning command that applies one selected visual change, such as layout, colour, motion, emphasis, or typography.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refine an existing interface with commands such as --layout, --colorize, --animate, or --typeset.
Why use it?
It gives focused design adjustments a defined process instead of requiring a full design review. You must choose exactly one adjustment.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

refine scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to fortify — 49 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/refine — Design Refinement Router (individual commands)

Tweak entry for the refinement verbs. Each flag is an individual command run OUTSIDE the /impeccable pipeline — so there is no separate validator agent, and the cognition constraint loop IS the enforcement (mandatory). Zero loop logic of its own (#POISON_PATH duplication): the loop is defined once at ~/.claude/docs/reference/cognition-constraint-loop.md.

Parse flag (exactly one required)

Flag Verb / craft skill
--animate animate (light motion; heavy motion → /motion-design)
--bolder bolder
--colorize colorize
--delight delight
--layout layout
--overdrive overdrive
--quieter quieter
--typeset typeset

If no flag or an unrecognized flag: print this table, ask the user to pick. Do not guess. Do not run.

Run — the in-thread cognition constraint loop

Target routing (#PATH_DECISION — one rule, not 5 copies): apply ~/.claude/docs/concepts/ios-design-contract/target-routing.md. If the TARGET ends in .swift, load Skill("ios-impeccable-hub") (instead of impeccable-hub) and use the Swift detector below; otherwise keep the CSS path unchanged.

Run the loop at ~/.claude/docs/reference/cognition-constraint-loop.md with VERB = <flag>, loading Skill("impeccable-hub") (the aesthetic; Skill("ios-impeccable-hub") for a .swift target — see routing above) + Skill("<flag>") (craft spine):

  1. R1 BIND — cognition checkpoint emits the typed FORBIDDEN/FORWARD constraints this verb-on-this- target can trip (detector/banned-rule ids); capture the returned ids.
  2. R2 WORK — edit the target in-thread under the bound ids, applying the craft + the user's critique verbatim (FR-6). Before writing styling code, read the relevant doctrine: the CSS manifesto (~/.claude/docs/concepts/llm-css-manifesto.md) for web; the loaded ios-impeccable-hub for a .swift target (per the routing rule above).
  3. EVALUATE — check every bound constraint + run the detector self-check. For a .swift target: /Users/adilkalam/ORCA-OS/mcp/swift-design-detector/bin/swiftdesigncheck detect --json <file>; otherwise node /Users/adilkalam/ORCA-OS/mcp/design-detector/bin/designcheck.js detect --json <file>. Both: EXIT=2 = findings present. Record a cognition thought (per id: satisfied|unsatisfied).
  4. R(n) LOOP — fix + re-evaluate until none unsatisfied. MAX N=2, then escalate to the user. You may NOT claim done with an open constraint.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

refine is a command published in the GitHub repository adilkalam/orca (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 987 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to fortify, differing in 49 lines, and is treated as a copy.
